I have a specific question about vmware esxi 6.0 which i have problem to make replication of data on 2 esxi has the similar type and how to change the domain name server of the 2 esxi.
This is a standalone ESXi server? Do you have a vCenter server?
You can read a few manuals for replication.
vCenter replication
https://www.vmware.com/files/pdf/vsphere/VMW-vSPHR-Replication-6-0.pdf
vSphere replication with different domains

Alternative: You can use side products to replication like - Veeam

For a group project in one of my university IT classes, each group is given 3 servers and the professor wants us to get an Apache CloudStack environment running using those three. While initially vague on instructions, he later informed us that we should install the ESXi hypervisor on all 3 of our servers and go from there.
We first installed ESXi on all 3 of our servers. Then we installed vCenter server on one of them in order to combine all the computing resources by adding each as a host in a cluster before we start setting up CloudStack. What we are about to do next is install the CloudStack Management server on a VM created in vCenter server.
I was reading the CloudStack documentation before we start the installation which is where my question stems from. The documentation mentions that a host should not have any running VMs on them before getting added to CloudStack. Here is the exact text:
Ideally clusters that will be managed by CloudStack should not contain any other VMs. Do not run the management server or vCenter on the cluster that is designated for CloudStack use. Create a separate cluster for use of CloudStack and make sure that they are no VMs in this cluster.
So my question is, does that include the management server VM? If it does, would that mean we have to make a separate cluster for just the host server that contains the management server? Cause if that's the case, we can't use any of the other resources on that server that is running the management server. Or does it mean that you can but it's just not recommended?
On top of that, the documentation also mentions the following:
Put all target ESXi hypervisors in dedicated clusters in a separate Datacenter in vCenter.
So would I have to put the ESXi host containing vCenter Server and CloudStack Management Server in both a separate datacenter and cluster?
So we have a setup of two esxi hypervisors running multiple VMs and we have them controlled by a vCenter server setup as a VM on one of those esxi servers. In the past, when I've had to migrate these to a different network with a different domain name and everything - I just deleted the vCenter server, migrated esxi servers (updating their IP configurations) and connecting them to the new network and then setup a new vCenter server on that network again in one of those esxi servers.
My question is this - is it possible to migrate the vCenter server onto the new network? From my experience, the IP address and domain name of the vCenter setup is so intertwined that you cannot. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
Thanks in advance.
I am new to Vmware APIs, is there some way to use Rest/Soap APIs to deploy a VM on a given IP of either an ESXi Server or a Vcentre Server?
I know there exists CreateVM_Task in VSphere Web Services SDK but how to use it for an ESXi Server on a remote location?
Theoretically, you run the sample the exact same way. However you authenticate to the ESXi host directly instead of the vCenter server.
Now that I think about it, you'll probably also have to remove the datacenter parameter since hosts don't contain datacenter objects.
I am trying to setup my home lab and I just purchased a new server. My server configuration is below

I am not network expert guy and I am trying to setup Multi Sub Net Network with single ESXI to test the Windows Server Fail Over Cluster and SQL Server High Availability. I am trying to simulate one sql server in On-Premise and another server in data center with different sub net. At present I have installed one DNS and two SQL Servers. Before installing another DNS for Data Center and SQL Servers, I would like to setup the Network correctly.
My question is below
Is it possible to configure two different subnet configuration and talk to each other in single esxi? If yes, How to configure? What steps I have to follow.
Please help
Yes, it is possible to have multiple subnets configured in a single ESXi host. Most people use VLAN tagging to separate those networks, but it would require a managed switch capable of understanding VLAN tags.
What is the difference between vCenter and vSphere?
And which one should I use if I want to access a list of VMs and templates?
Will they have different IP addresses?
vCenter is a server that manages VMs, datastores, hosts, etc...
vSphere is an app that enables you to talk with the vCenter Server. You can use vSphere to send commands to vCenter and vCenter manages your infrastructure with these commands.
the vSphere vCenter Server is a central managing unit for all your vSphere ESXi Hosts.
If you want to deploy Templates with Guest customization you need to use the vCenter Server.
The vCenter Server can be a seperate hardware Server or a virtual machine - so vCenter and ESXi have different IPs.
If you are only managing a single host, vSphere client is simple to use. If your virtual environment consists of multiple hosts, vCenter allows you to manage all of them in one interface.
